I assume the OS grid reference scheme is out of copyright? Or does some different form of copyright apply? Its fair to assume that these grid coordinates were derived using an OS map, but they could have been derived using another map.
Therefore assume OS can't "lay claim" to to the data, because they cant show it uses their copyrighted data.
